Hey Vince! Sadly games would probably be put on Acorn Arcade, so wouldn't push anything down the TIB page :) |

Okay, I've just received word from Aaron that the current batch of CDs /have/ been scrapped (last Friday). |

Oh yeah, AcornArcade, right, good point.
Okay, so what if I told you I was about to mount a hostile take over bid (balaclavas and all) of Pace, with the intention of making them the 'new' Acorn?

What about 'JOHN HOARE CAN'T FIND ANYONE WHO WILL TAKE PHOTOGRAPHS OF HIM EATING HIS COMPUTER - IN FACT, THEY BACK AWAY AND SEEM NOT TO WANT TO SPEAK TO HIM AGAIN?' |

That's a good one John :)
I see you still have desires of eating computers. Well my A4 is no longer available; I made a nice pie out of it. Sorry.

8.02pm sounds rather precise, don't you think? 'Around 8pm' would be better.
Anyway, only another 18 messages to go and we've hit the 100 - don't post any new articles yet Rich!

8.02 is precise. For a reason. You'll see.

Reading these threads makes me wonder whether any sense is being made by anyone in this community. Perhaps we shouldn't have these forums. Such a waste of download time and storage space ;-) |

I have a feeling in won't matter where you are, so long as you are in the GMT time zone. Those in central Europe will have the experience an hour earlier. |

If you miss it now, you'll have to wait 110 years to see it again, unless you are American, in which case this is your last chance! |

We should have these forums as they're in general a lot more friendly and informal and there's less pomposity and animosity than in certian newsgoups or mialing lists I could mention.
Part of this (friendliness) is down to Richard Goodwins style of writing. Part is down to the absence of certain people in my opinion. |

Well I must be incredably thick as I have no idea what you're all talking about.
Guess I'll have to wait until 20:02 :( |

Unless Richard or someone else posts something about it, you may find 20:02 passes without you being aware of its significance. Come 20:03 it will all be over! |

Unfortunately you've just missed out on another. At 16:55:01 the Unix timestamp would also have been a palindromic number: 1014224101.
Just incase you cared. |

I remember New Year's Day in 1961 when someone on TV wrote down the year and then turned it upside-down. That won't happen again for a while either. |
